KeystoneJS
Node.js + GraphQL headless CMS. Schema-as-code, batteries included.
What it is
KeystoneJS is a Node.js headless CMS. You define your schema in JavaScript, and Keystone auto-generates the GraphQL + REST APIs, Admin UI, and auth. Supports Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB.
Why we recommend it
If you're a Node.js developer who wants a headless CMS that you can fully own (no vendor lock-in, no SaaS), KeystoneJS is the answer. The schema-as-code approach is a developer favorite.
When to use it
- Headless CMS for a Node.js / React app
- Custom CMS you want to own
- When you want GraphQL + REST from day one
- Startups that want a CMS without monthly fees
